How about this one from Disneyland? I had to pick it up just because of the Star Tours 'tips'.IMG_20110215_090122 by mr_joshua1, on FlickrOh, and it also does the canned R2 'shot by a Jawa' sounds...if that makes sense.

Now that I'm thinking about it after you mentioned the sounds, I think that might have been in the gift shop the last time I went to DL. They have all kinds of those light up spinners in the park for various themes so I'm not too sure.

Yeah, that's been around for a few years. A little on the silly side for me. Meanwhile, my sister came back from Disneyland a few weeks ago with one of these for me and I thought it was awesome, so go figure.

One of my Latin teachers back in highschool used to have an R2-D2 electronic dice machine. He'd use it to randomly pick a student to translate the next sentence/paragraph/section/whatever for a quiz grade. Occasionally, he would let one of the students push the button on top, but never let us see the numbers it spat out. We figured it was just a conspiracy, and he already knew who he wanted to call on. But at least the R2-D2 made noises.

Pretty sure you're talking about the Star Wars Trivial Pursuit randomizer but linked to the new x-box console by mistake. It was about 4 inches tall if I remember (mine's in storage right now) that acted as the die in that game and made sounds. Only went from 1 to 6 though. Had a little LCD screen on the front. Sound about right?

Upon further investigation, sure enough. Congratulations on solving one of my (semi-)childhood mysteries! Haha

Edit:

Oh, Lord. I was browsing the thread, skimming to see if anyone had posted it yet, and I came across the upcoming R2D2-themed 360/Kinect. Must have copied that link address, then pasted it into my post absent-mindedly.Here's the link I *meant* to post:
